Xenoblade Chronicles 2 /Switch

Llegó en tiempo y forma, bien sellado.

Out of all Xeno titles, 2 is quite unique, whether is the setting, the young protagonist or the blade/driver battle system, it reminds me of 80 and 90's anime, which is a rare sight these days.Compare to the more serious entries like 1 and 3, 2 is pretty laid back, and that is not a bad thing, as there are plenty of comedies to enjoy, some will really catch you off guard if you are used to the seriousness of other titles.The combat system is a more refined version from the first entry, you don't get use as many arts at the same time, but in exchange you can use special 'finisher' arts that can be chained up for massive damage(and some awesome animations too).The Japanese voice acting is top-tiered anime level performance, thankfully you can download the Japanese voice pack, as I have heard snips of English VO from trailers and it just turned me off, for JRPGs Japanese voice over justworks, period.Whether you are a long time Xeno fan or not this title (and all other ones too) can be enjoyed independently from other entries, which is a good move on Monolith's part, as the Xenosaga series suffered from overly ambitious plans (6 episode in total) and ended up been cut short. Just because this is a stand-alone entry doesn't mean it will be a short ride, together with the DLC prequel (Torna - The Golden Country) you are look at least 100 hours of play time (not to mention the new game plus mode that added more item/characters to collect).The Xeno series always have a special place in my heart, they are like what their namesakes implied; totally out-of-this-world experiences that you just can't find anywhere else, and that is the primary reason for me to buy a Switch(Wii U for X as well), this is a masterpiece that should be in every JRPG fan's library.

I went into this with simple word of mouth. Not having any context whatsoever. I simply could not find this game anywhere on shelves. Saw a reprint available on Amazon and scooped it up.The intro cutscenes and about first couple hours and change-admittedly, didn't draw me in. The tutorial essentially taught you basic stuff that can seem somewhat confusing at least until you "get it". Once the bad guys showed up on screen, the darker tones of the story started coming to light. As a consequence of personally finding the protagonist annoying, it made said bad guys all the more welcome. Then you start seeing the "weapon". And the combat coming unto its own. Connecting the dots.Roughly about 58 hours into it. I had fun just grinding out xp in a mixed bag of all the quests available in the 2nd area. Seeing the story finally unfolding.I have yet to finish this grand adventure I've begun. But I have to say, the experience I've had-minus 2 or 3 hours-has been entertaining. Spiritually, it very reminiscent of rpgs from an earlier era. Simpler times.Although, it can be said that we should have higher standards for what these consoles can do. Yes the switch is very underpowred. Yes the games struggle on it sometimes. It's endearing and part of the charm, for me at least.All in all, if like me you've missed out on this game-if you're on the fence about it...fat chance you'll find it on sale, new. I can personally couch for what this game is. It's pretty damn good.One last thing, for parents or people that might find it offensive-there are adult themes here that encompass a large spectrum of what that could mean. Some call it fan service. Some call it childish. Some call it gross. As per usual, men and women will agree, some of these characters were created with the intent to make imaginations "spark up". It wasn't an issue for me but you'll definitely get the obligatory low/high angles on the less subtle characters.In conclusion, buy the damn game.

Audio en Inglés y Japonés, subtítulos en todos los idiomas ( incluidos español).Es un JRPG con sistema de combate muy especial con ataques, combos y artes, que una vez te acostumbras no resulta complicado.A mi me costó entrar a jugarlo por su evidente fan service ( a veces da mucha vergüenza ajena como los personajes femeninos estan de hipersexualizados). Pero la historia es una maravilla y supera al primer Xenoblade en profundidad. Rex es un personaje que evoluciona durante todo el arco argumental.Te esperan horas y horas de exploración descubriendo secretos y conociendo un mundo extenso y maravilloso.La música del juego te llega al corazón.Adoro Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition pero este es el que hizo que la saga se convirtiera en mi favorita después de los Zelda.

Il gioco di per se è ottimo, niente da dire.Se invece siete collezionisti e avete visto che è tornato disponibile su amazon.it, sappiate che il gioco ha la confezione in inglese e non in italiano. Per tutti gli altri potete acquistarlo senza problemi, il gioco ha i sottotitoli in italiano.
